 * Important: allocation provides always zeroed memory, having to do
 * a memset after allocation is deadly for performance.
 * Memory usage at startup is currently as follows:
 * 64 KB pinned space
 * 64 KB internal space
 * size of nursery
 * We should provide a small memory config with half the sizes
 *
 * We currently try to make as few mono assumptions as possible:
 * 1) 2-word header with no GC pointers in it (first vtable, second to store the
 *    forwarding ptr)
 * 2) gc descriptor is the second word in the vtable (first word in the class)
 * 3) 8 byte alignment is the minimum and enough (not true for special structures, FIXME)
 * 4) there is a function to get an object's size and the number of
 *    elements in an array.
 * 5) we know the special way bounds are allocated for complex arrays
 *
 * Always try to keep stack usage to a minimum: no recursive behaviour
 * and no large stack allocs.
 *
 * General description.
 * Objects are initially allocated in a nursery using a fast bump-pointer technique.
 * When the nursery is full we start a nursery collection: this is performed with a
 * copying GC.
 * When the old generation is full we start a copying GC of the old generation as well:
 * this will be changed to mark/compact in the future.
 * The things that complicate this description are:
 * *) pinned objects: we can't move them so we need to keep track of them
 * *) no precise info of the thread stacks and registers: we need to be able to
 *    quickly find the objects that may be referenced conservatively and pin them
 *    (this makes the first issues more important)
 * *) large objects are too expensive to be dealt with using copying GC: we handle them
 *    with mark/sweep during major collections
 * *) some objects need to not move even if they are small (interned strings, Type handles):
 *    we use mark/sweep for them, too: they are not allocated in the nursery, but inside
 *    PinnedChunks regions
 */

/*
 * TODO:
 *) change the jit to emit write barrier calls when needed (we
  can have specialized write barriers): done with icalls, still need to
  use some specialized barriers
 *) we could have a function pointer in MonoClass to implement
  customized write barriers for value types
 *) the write barrier code could be isolated in a couple of functions: when a
  thread is stopped if it's inside the barrier it is let go again
  until we stop outside of them (not really needed, see below GC-safe points)
 *) investigate the stuff needed to advance a thread to a GC-safe
  point (single-stepping, read from unmapped memory etc) and implement it
  Not needed yet: since we treat the objects reachable from the stack/regs as
  roots, we store the ptr and exec the write barrier so there is no race.
  We may need this to solve the issue with setting the length of arrays and strings.
  We may need this also for handling precise info on stacks, even simple things
  as having uninitialized data on the stack and having to wait for the prolog
  to zero it. Not an issue for the last frame that we scan conservatively.
  We could always not trust the value in the slots anyway.
 *) make the jit info table lock free
 *) modify the jit to save info about references in stack locations:
  this can be done just for locals as a start, so that at least
  part of the stack is handled precisely.
 *) Make the debug printf stuff thread and signal safe.
 *) test/fix 64 bit issues
 *) test/fix endianess issues
 *) port to non-Linux
 *) add batch moving profile info
 *) add more timing info
 *) there is a possible race when an array or string is created: the vtable is set,
    but the length is set only later so if the GC needs to scan the object in that window,
    it won't get the correct size for the object. The object can't have references and it will
    be pinned, but a free memory fragment may be created that overlaps with it.
    We should change the array max_length field to be at the same offset as the string length:
    this way we can have a single special alloc function for them that sets the length.
    Multi-dim arrays have the same issue for rank == 1 for the bounds data.
 *) implement a card table as the write barrier instead of remembered sets?
 *) some sort of blacklist support?
 *) fin_ready_list is part of the root set, too
 *) consider lowering the large object min size to 16/32KB or so and benchmark
 *) once mark-compact is implemented we could still keep the
    copying collector for the old generation and use it if we think
    it is better (small heaps and no pinning object in the old
    generation)
  *) avoid the memory store from copy_object when not needed.
  *) optimize the write barriers fastpath to happen in managed code
  *) add an option to mmap the whole heap in one chunk: it makes for many
     simplifications in the checks (put the nursery at the top and just use a single
     check for inclusion/exclusion): the issue this has is that on 32 bit systems it's
     not flexible (too much of the address space may be used by default or we can't
     increase the heap as needed) and we'd need a race-free mechanism to return memory
     back to the system (mprotect(PROT_NONE) will still keep the memory allocated if it
     was written to, munmap is needed, but the following mmap may not find the same segment
     free...)
   *) memzero the fragments after restarting the world and optionally a smaller chunk at a time
   *) an additional strategy to realloc/expand the nursery when fully pinned is to start
      allocating objects in the old generation. This means that we can't optimize away write
      barrier calls in ctors (but that is not valid for other reasons, too).
   *) add write barriers to the Clone methods

/* Pinned objects are allocated in the LOS space if bigger than half a page
 * or from freelists otherwise. We assume that pinned objects are relatively few
 * and they have a slow dying speed (like interned strings, thread objects).
 * As such they will be collected only at major collections.
 * free lists are not global: when we need memory we allocate a PinnedChunk.
 * Each pinned chunk is made of several pages, the first of wich is used
 * internally for bookeeping (here think of a page as 4KB). The bookeeping
 * includes the freelists vectors and info about the object size of each page
 * in the pinned chunk. So, when needed, a free page is found in a pinned chunk,
 * a size is assigned to it, the page is divided in the proper chunks and each
 * chunk is added to the freelist. To not waste space, the remaining space in the
 * first page is used as objects of size 16 or 32 (need to measure which are more
 * common).
 * We use this same structure to allocate memory used internally by the GC, so
 * we never use malloc/free if we need to alloc during collection: the world is stopped
 * and malloc/free will deadlock.
 * When we want to iterate over pinned objects, we just scan a page at a time
 * linearly according to the size of objects in the page: the next pointer used to link
 * the items in the freelist uses the same word as the vtable. Since we keep freelists
 * for each pinned chunk, if the word points outside the pinned chunk it means
 * it is an object.
 * We could avoid this expensive scanning in creative ways. We could have a policy
 * of putting in the pinned space only objects we know about that have no struct fields
 * with references and we can easily use a even expensive write barrier for them,
 * since pointer writes on such objects should be rare.
 * The best compromise is to just alloc interned strings and System.MonoType in them.
 * It would be nice to allocate MonoThread in it, too: must check that we properly
 * use write barriers so we don't have to do any expensive scanning of the whole pinned
 * chunk list during minor collections. We can avoid it now because we alloc in it only
 * reference-free objects.
